NOTES..

The Democratic Editorial Associa-
ton, of Indiana, which recently met
at Maxinkuckee Lake, refused to en-
dorse Cleveland's administration in
any manner.
An exchange says: cit may be per-
fectly true that advertising does not
pay, but it somehow happens that
those who advertise the most make
the most money. Perhaps this is all
chance, but those in position to know
put it down to wise business manage
ment."
Prof. Proctor has a good word to
say for the house fly that so many
people are execrating. He asserts
that if it were not for this winged
household visitor that sticketh closer
than brother, a million people would
be carried off by epidemics every year.
And yet most people are in accord

The pension office has denied an
application from an ex-soldier named
Kedgspeth, who, to get out of An
Jacksonville prison, yielded to confed-
crate opportunities and enlisted in the
rebel army, from which he deserted as
soon as possible and again joined the
Union ranks and fought CALAMITY till
the surrender. Does the pension bu-
reau think he should have remained
in the southern army?
Joseph H. Rainey, the colored ex-
Congressman, died of congestive fever
at his residence in Georgetown, S. c..
last week. Mr.. Rainey had figured
prominently in the politics of South
Carolina. Soon after the war he
abandoned his trade as barber and en-.
tered the political field. In 1870 he
was elected to Congress and was re.
elected in 1872, but in 1874 he was
defeated by John S. Richardson. He
was conservative and a man of quiet
dignified manners and prepossessing
appearance.

his sound sense by appointing Ex-M.
c., J. M. Tyler, of Brattleboro, to the

in Windham, Windsor, and Benning-

MI: hnlgnG was man of sharp and
positive opinions which were boldly

it did not cause him to swerve from his
